  1. Andy Barlow's productions have been defanged; no longer surprising and innovative, they exist as merely proper frameworks for the songs.

    The fractious tension producer [Barlow] normally whips up to counter [Rhodes] is almost completely absent, thus allowing the run of tracks to discreetly slide off into the background. [Mar 2004, p.110]
  3. All the spiky edges have been worn away.
  4. With an approach that seems so clinical, the album sounds cold and soulless -- and, well, boring.
